What data does "they're lying" fit better than "they're earnest?"
> If they're not lying, they can show it by producing the results they claim. Until then, they're probably just lying
Brilliant framework: Anyone making claims about the future is not just speculating, not just wrong, but they are lying.

- estearum 5mo agoLol, I can name 3 specific jobs within my own company (of <10 people) that AI prevents me from having to hire for. They've been automated away. My company itself (possible only with AI) does the work of at least several dozen people across my hundred customers or so. Those jobs are now automated away. Does that mean you're lying, or just overly confident (and wrong) in your speculations? FWIW, I wouldn't put Sam Altman in the category of "earnest." I'm not sure if you just aren't aware that Anthropic and OpenAI are different companies, or if you're arguing dishonestly by trying to put sama quotes in here? But weird move in either case!

- estearum 5mo agoIn most ways it doesn't matter, but if you're accusing someone of lying and then your evidence of that is something that someone else said, then that's lazy (at best). I'm not sure there's anything "to get." But given your level of curiosity it's not surprising. Web3 was absolute horseshit (and always was), so if you're blending AI with that based on the similarly grandiose claims and the extremely annoying boosterism, I think you should try hitting reset and engaging with LLMs from a cleaner slate.
